IMPROVEMENT IN HARNESS-TRIMMINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,722, dated January 25, 1876; application filed June 25, 1875. a

To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS ELLISON, of Abingdon, in the countyot' Knox and State of Illinois, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Terrets for Harness and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings'making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

therewith, is a circular space, 0, for the passage of round reins.

The flange E and screw-threaded shank D are constructed as in the ordinary terret. By the employment of the rectangular space B-for flat reins, the latter are prevented from becoming twisted.

The advantages of this construction are that both flat and round reins can readily be employed in a single terret Without liability of twisting the reins between the terret and the bridle-bit.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A terret, provided with the rectangular space E, and the circular space 0, adapted for round and flat reins, substantially as set forth.

THOMAS ELLISON. Witnesses:

J. H. BIRD, T. H. GIVENS.
